ImageToday I decided to look once again at the wall directly behind me. Something bothered me last time I checked. Now It struck me.The biggest secret in the world is hanging there for me to see: the world is not a sphere as you might expect but it looks more like a severely beaten egg. Why has nobody ever mentioned this to me? It's so obvious to see!

However...., it's also possible that the earth is a rounded flat square. May I be of liberty to quote Lucius Caecilius Firmianus Lactantius: "How is it with those who imagine that there are antipodes opposite to our footsteps? Do they say anything to the purpose? Or is there any one so senseless as to believe that there are men whose footsteps are higher than their heads? or that the things which with us are in a recumbent position, with them hang in an inverted direction? that the crops and trees grow downwards? that the rains, and snow, and hail fall upwards to the earth? ... The origin of this error must also be set forth by us. For they are always deceived in the same manner. ... that last consequence also followed, that there would be no part of the earth uninhabited by men and the other animals. Thus the rotundity of the earth leads, in addition, to the invention of those suspended antipodes.  But if you inquire from those who defend these marvellous fictions, why all things do not fall into that lower part of the heaven, they reply that such is the nature of things,  ... I am at a loss what to say respecting those who, when they have once erred, consistently persevere in their folly, and defend one vain thing by another; but that I sometimes imagine that they either discuss philosophy for the sake of a jest, or purposely and knowingly undertake to defend falsehoods... "

And even in 1980 Robert J. Schadewald - then President of the "International Flat Earth Research Society", Schadewald speaks out on his flat earth views.  Article published in Science Digest, July 1980, "The Flat-out Truth: Earth Orbits? Moon Landings?  A Fraud! Says This Prophet", quotes Schadewald: "The facts are simple.  The earth is flat.  ... 
"You can't orbit a flat earth.  The Space Shuttle is a joke--and a very ludicrous joke.  ...  The known, inhabited world is flat. Just as a guess, I'd say that the dome of heaven is about 4,000 miles away, and the stars are about as far as San Francisco is from Boston."  In a map published by Johnson, the known world is as circular
and as flat as a phonograph record. The North Pole is at the center. At the outer edge lies the southern ice, reputed to be a wall 150 feet high; no one has ever crossed it, and therefore what lies beyond is unknown.

Tomorrow I'll get me some snow boots and check it out...
